Feet in Smoke
After reading Feet in
Smoke I’m still wondering how unlucky you’d have to be to experience “death
by microphone.” The narrative was really
entertaining. The only times I think
about getting electrocuted are when working on my car or if there’s a
thunderstorm and I’m on a golf course. I
guess I never imagine surviving a situation that bad to consider the irony in
resuscitation by means of death. The story
also brought up something else I’ve found interesting every since a good friend
of mine was diagnosed with Bipolar II Disorder, the fact that one can “trip”
without any external stimulus. Both Julien
and Worth seem kind of similar. My friend thought that World of War Craft was
made by the French to recruit Al-Quida members to destroy U.S. but not in the conventional sense…he meant
take down the government and create a hippie utopia. He said the French admins of WOW told him to
recruit soldiers to the cause. Long
story short, he got arrested and sent to the psych ward at OSU after screaming
at a Middle Eastern shop owner for not admitting that he was in Al-Quida
too. Julien hasn’t remembered either of
the manic episodes he’s had and so I had to fill him in. Like Sullivan, I can laugh about it now but
Julien doesn’t like to talk about it to this day.
